Book Description
From this notable and engaging study we learn that the education of the Arthurian hero is a romance motif as significant to the hero's exploits as his beseiged damsel or his fierce joust. Accounts of the births and childhoods of religious and mythical protagonists at once prefigure and explaining their later powers. Originally published in 1966.

Book Description
Gower's imaginative French poetry is now available in a new edition with facing page translation, annotations, and introduction. Gower's Traitie employs the French poetic form of balade, typically used for courtly verses, to avow instead the virtues of loving marriage, characteristic of Gower's signature moralizing. His Cinkante Balades confront the tradition of the French Livre de Cent Balades, by describing the feelings of a young man towards his lady, but eventually offering a praise of love insofar as it is subject to reason and morality. Together the two works offer an excellent introduction to the Anglo-Norman works of Gower and are perfect for classroom use.
